Hello,
I have to replace the leaf springs of my 1930 Chevrolet 4-doors Sedan.
Leaf springs on the car are not original ones (only 7 leaf)
In the parts catalog I have I found that the original ones have 8 leaf, front and rear.
General Motor part number for rear is 357375.
They were used on :
1930 Sedan, Club Sedan, Coach & Sedan Delivery;
1931-1932 Phaeton, Sedan, Special Sedan, Landau Phaeton, Cabriolet, Coupe, Coach & Sedan Delivery;
1933 Master: Phaeton, Sport Roadster, Sport Coupe, Cabriolet;
1933-1935 Standard passenger (except Sedan, Coach or Sedan Delivery)
- leaf 1 : 342577
- leaf 2 : 358276
- leaf 3 : 362531
- leaf 4 : 343159
- leaf 5 : 343160
- leaf 6 : 343161
- leaf 7 : 369362
- leaf 8 : 369363
General Motor part number for front is 365172
They were used on :
1930-1932 Special Sedan, Town Sedan, Coach with Fender Wells - Models AD, AE, BA;
1930-1933 All models with Fender Mounted Spare Tires;
1932 De Luxe 1/2 Ton Models;
1933 1/2 Ton Panel Truck - Model CB
- leaf 1 : 342925
- leaf 2 : 342926
- leaf 3 : 362165
- leaf 4 : 365174
- leaf 5 : 367176
- leaf 6 : 362168
- leaf 7 : 367178
- leaf 8 : 342932
Some people here in Belgium are able to rebuild leaf springs, but they need the spec : length, thickness, width, ...
Is someone in the club :
- Can get information from General motor archives or from somewhere else;
- Has a compatible car and would be kind enough to measure its leaf springs and send me the results.
Thank you for your help.
Edmond
